Endive, Apple and Kasha Salad image

Nutty, earthy grains of kasha go beautifully with crunchy, juicy apples and bitter endive, long a favorite salad combo. Cut the apple into small dice - 1/4 to 1/2 inch - to maximize this marriage of grain, fruit, nut and bitter salad green. The acid to oil quotient in the dressing is on the low side; I use lemon juice only and sweeten the mix with a little honey. You could also use agave nectar, and leave out the Gruyère in the salad for a vegan version; though I love the Gruyère here because it, too, has a nutty flavor. This salad holds up well on a buffet.

This salad is a crime against humanity. It should be illegal to make it.

This salad is not worth the effort. It's just a bunch of chopped vegetables with a bland dressing.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad turned out way too salty. I think I'll use half the amount of salt next time.

This salad is a bit bland. I think it would be better with a more flavorful dressing.

I found the kasha to be a bit too chewy, but the rest of the salad was great.

The dressing is a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise this salad is delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover kasha. It's also a healthy and refreshing side dish.

I've made this salad several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The kasha adds a nice nutty flavor and texture.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party. The combination of endive, apple, and kasha is unique and delicious, and the dressing is perfectly tangy and sweet.
